D for Dashed hopes

A few days back ,I went to watch V for Vendatta. Being a Wachowski brother's movie, I expected it to be stylish and slick and revolutionary(I am not talking about overthrowing governments) like Matrix.Alas, I was in for disappointment.Lessons learnt:

1. When you go for a movie based on some novel,book or comic, then do read the novel,book or comic before going for the movie.Then only you will be able to appreciate the idea being presented in the movie, in the right context.
2. Dont compare 2 movies made by the same guys.A movie like Matrix(only the 1st part) is unmatchable in terms of the sheer audacity of the thinking that we are not in control of our lives and that what we see is not real(did I read the same in Bhagvad Geeta about moh maya)and for a lot of other reasons ,but, expecting that all the movies made by Wachowski brothers will be like Matrix is like expecting all search engines to work like Google.
3. Identify the intended audience and see if you are part of that.Maybe taking bullets from 7 or 8 machine guns and still surviving to beat the hell out of 7 or 8 baddies might be heroic for some--for me it looked like a cheap copy of some Rajnikant movie :-).
4. Go with an open mind and dont have any opinion about the movie till you have seen it completely.

From now on, I intend to follow these points to have a better viewing pleasure :-) .

and BTW, I think the film never talks about the concepts of The Land of Do-As-You Please and the Land of Take What You Want.Also, the movie doesn't seem to stick to the story of the original comics.
